My LAST Go Round© 2001 Jesse SlokumIf Beggars can have Banquets,SOMEBODY had to wtite this song! Make the cows jump right over the moon! Blow you horns so loudly and tuneful Be sure to empty every saloon Swear to yourself there'll be no cryin' When I've sung you all my last long song There's no choice in my time of dyin' So rejoice when I bang the long gong For this will be my last go round Take to heart the good things you have heard In the end there will be no sound If the beginning was the first word Take my clothes and put them on the free bench That's where I found them just yesterday Call me a left-handed monkey wrench Who could never make anything pay Sing my songs to the wind, my brother That's where I found them anyway. Take my love, share it with each other I will be among you all that way Yes, this will be my last go round Take to heart the good things you have heard In the end there will be no sound If the beginning was the first word I've spent my life singing in the street Living in the moment for FREE, now, Finding some PEACE in the faces I meet. With those hearts, I've learned how to BE, NOW! In the silence of the howling wind I've heard the news of a brand new day Why wait for the trumpeting to begin When we see all the walls fall away. Why wait for the trumpeting to begin When we see all the walls fall away. |
